October 2020 was a significant moment in my life ... I finally had the opportunity to go to Africa to meet my family in Bamako (the capital of Mali). I was born in France and the last time I went to Mali, I was only 3 years old. I had absolutely no memory of this first trip, so it was very important to me to go back there again! I needed to see my family, to better understand my personal history, and see where I came from. To be honest, I don't think Mali is a tourist destination. However, people are really warm, kind and generous. They don't live with a lot of things, but they'll do anything to make you feel comfortable! I'm very proud to be Malian <3. I'm so grateful for this journey and I hope I can return there. This time, I didn't visit all the famous spots because it wasn't the main goal of this trip, but I still saw many interesting things and beautiful places! Assitan <3
